• 2 bottles of Chablis 1er Cru
• some bottles of Léon Barral Faugères
• random assortment of beer (Orval, Hoegaarden Grand Cru, Tripel Karmeliet, Malheur,...)

Think I'm ready for it...

[Geo]

But is it ready for you?

[Seul]

Look at these feckers!.. (xpost)

THEY BEST BE READY CAUSE COME TOMORROW 7 FECKING PM ALL HELL IS GONNA BREAK LOOSE!..

[Blackheart]

Good stash there, too bad we're not all there to help you drink it!

[Giles]

Seul, when you swim to the UK, as you regularly do, what's the shortest route?  I need to reverse that feckin route right now…............

@Blackheart:

As if I need help….....

Giles: yeah I'm really stoked on these big feckers!.. You got 'm over there, readily available?..

[Giles]

Possibly, but I don't even look at Belgium beer in the shops over here - ridiculous prces.  When I drive over to Belgium, I fill the back of the car up though….............

[Seul]

Yeah I figured so - that's a shame… As soon as it leaves Belgium, this apparently becomes a luxury product, with a price to match...

What's some of your fav Belgian beer, while at it?.. I'm kinda new to all of this... Never really was into beer...

[Geo]

Seul - it's pretty easy to most Belgian beers over here - but as G says you do pay a premium . . . But you can send me as much Oud Beersel Oude Geuze Vieille as you can lay your mitts on

[Blackheart]

Oh I know you don't need any help drinking it, would just be fun to celebrate your birthday with you…

[Giles]

I've pretty catholic taste when it comes to beer, I love all the Chimays, Vorboden Vrucht (but I think that's because I like the name and the label), La Chouffe (for the same reason I suspect) and I could say Slag Pils for the same reason - but I wont.

[Seul]

I can send ya these, Geo… Geuze 'Boon'... 100 % Lambic... You can keep these for 30 years...

[Giles]

Geo may be feeling a little poorly over the next few days, why I don't I do him a favour and have you send them here for safe keeping - cue evil laugh…....

And before anyone thinks I live in a liquor/ beer store… My sis' bloke drinks these... So I keep some stocked... Haven't tried it myself, really... But might cause I'm actually curious as to how it tastes... It's pretty dry, I guess, right Geo?..

[Geo]

. . . And sour - in a very nice way

[Giles]

Just off out to dinner with my Round the World skipper friend:  He is going to be skippering this boat:

Ian is the guy on the far right.

I am sure we'll scheme up some more feckin stupid stuff for him and his crew to do with IH gear

[Beatle]

they look excited …enjoy the beer  s

[Chris]

Damn, Seul, you have some lovely beers there.  I've been saying for years that Belgian beers are, on the whole, the best in the world.

Stella Artois excepted, of course.

I'm envious at the amazing stuff you can pick up without any effort whatsoever.  I have to hunt for high quality Belgians.  Beers, that is.  Finding high quality Belgian people is a lost cause…
